Texas recruiting notes 2019

[satyanash 14485]

So Mowry's classes are in fact an issue re: him qualifying? I remember hearing they prevented him from enrolling early but hadn't heard that they were bad enough to keep him from qualifying completely.

Not if they aren't qualifiers.

And if they are qualifiers, aggy will take them.

No clue, I just know it's rare.  Saw a tweet from Shep a couple days ago where he was imploring people to text him directly to find out his OV plans and not his trainer/mentors.  Not sure what's up, but sounds like something w/FWK might not be going well.  Regardless, if he doesn't have concrete plans to officially visit us, but does A$M, 'Bama and UGa, the handwriting is more than on the wall on this one.

FWK has called out Shepherd a couple of times times in the last few weeks about being late to workouts, or not showing.

So their ceiling is 27, theynhave 23 signed and 2 more committed. That would leave 2 spots unless they tell mowery or Ellison to take a hike. How many are left on their board other than shepherd and lee?

Perroni has said in recent week their hard cap is 26, so 3 spots and I would think they have to sign atleast 1 LB and CB leaving 1 spot for the 2 commits + Shep and whomever else they might be able to get.

When was the last time a recruit signed with a school they never officially visited?  

For us, PJ Locke is the only one I can remember.

Edited for fact correction: PJ officially visited after NSD.

Dobbins committed to Ohio state without going there first. Did he OV later on before signing?

looks like the only OV he took was there

IIRC, Wheeler committed to Texas before his OV but took one

[Leanderman 2275]

No worries a few more will decide to move on and seek more playing time...…..like their linebackers.

[TexEx15 17528]

I’m not saying this is or will be the case but remember when Herman said it’s not the ones you miss out on signing.  It’s the ones that you do sign and then get stuck with for 4-5 years.  Shepherd situation could be applicable here.  With that said I hope he sticks and busts his ass once he gets here.

Parsi are Zoroastrians.  (At least in heritage).

I'll leave it at this because it's the recruiting board, but genetic testing of Parsi populations in India has shown significant admixture of the Iranian and South Asian haplotype groups. Which makes sense given that the Parsis originally fled religious persecution under the Islamic caliphate to settle in India all the way back in the 7th and 8th centuries. There are many Zoroastrians in India who aren't Parsis, and fled Iran much more recently.

Ellison is a big grade risk, the rumours about him not qualifying date back to well before his senior year. Mowry's case may not be so clear-cut? Idk. @golfclap what have you heard?

With Beaty, I wonder if he's in consideration for the Texas State HC job that might be opening up again.

This tweet doesn't mention Tim Beck, Herb Hand, or Todd Orlando.

[RomaVicta 29907]

Would-be amusing references to religions and squabbles about what poster is the bigger wind bag do not make for good reading. Neither do football board posts about a coach's future.

I will abandon this futile attempt to de-prioritize making this thread 1000 pages long at some point, but I still hold some faint hope that it and future recruiting threads will concentrate more on the actual subject and unique witticisms pertaining therein.

But, it will be worn out jokes, worn out feuds, worn out football takes, and worn out readers I'm sure.

Fuck your 1000 page goal. Fuck it as an excuse to bore.

Maybe the word "retain" is the key here and Warehime is going to move to a QA role?

Islam isn't especially ancient. Zoroastrianism on the other hand? You'll have to piece together a long-dead language (Avestan) and/or track down some of it's few thousand remaining adherents before you can even crack its holy book open.

As a Zoroastrian, I agree in some respects.  But there are ok english translations out there.  Imagine saying the lord's prayer in the original latin, if you have never taken a latin class.  That's how we get around not speaking avestan.

Definitely conflicts with the folks who are reporting he's about to hire Beatty (and Carrier).  Makes me think a few things might be going on:

1.) $9.95ers don't know shit.  Never have; never will.

2.) Herman is doing his annual roundup of figuring out where there are leaks in his staff and plugging those leaks.

3.) Herman is "floating" to the college football world that everyone has a job offer (even though they don't actually), so that they're more attractive to another school.  This helps his guys get jobs, and it helps him keep/develop a rep as a coach who isn't going to fire coaches and helps his assistants obtain other jobs.

4) He's retaining some assistants but not in their current roles (admittedly, this feels like wishcasting)

Also, as Nahlin just pointed out on IT, the only reason the Hand hire was announced in mid-January last year was that Auburn leaked the news early.

OK, back to recruiting.

Edited January 9, 2019 by Machinator

[RGBIII 22840]

Retaining them doesn’t specify in what capacity, and I’d imagine some could still move on with other jobs opening up. Beatty could also take a QC job like Mazzone was rumored last year

[RGBIII 22840]

makes the Baylor anger towards Hookfins recruitment even more hilarious. But that Abramson guy has like 300 followers so not sure how much of a “Jets insider” he actually is

would orlando go to Baylor if that happened??

Have heard they might hire from within. McGuire.

I'm excited for Temple to hire its next coach, so that Baylor can hire that coach away before he ever coaches a single snap at Temple.

The original written form is Koine Greek, but the original spoken form was Aramaic. Latin was not widely used for scripture before the third century. FWIW.

If we had Clemson’s staff we would want continuity also
